Chevron Corporation‘s (NYSE: CVX) Chevron Australia and Gorgon JV partners have approved the Final Investment Decision for the Gorgon Stage 3 project off northwest Western Australia.
Details
The AU$3 billion (approximately $2 billion) project will link the Geryon and Eurytion gas fields to existing subsea infrastructure and Barrow Island processing facilities.
Management Commentary
Chevron Australia President Balaji Krishnamurthy said the project will help sustain output at Gorgon, supporting long-term domestic gas supply for Western Australian homes and businesses as well as LNG exports to customers across Asia.
Krishnamurthy added, "With the development of the Geryon and Eurytion fields — to join the existing Gorgon and Jansz-Io fields in providing gas supply for the processing facilities — we can continue providing the reliable energy the world needs, maintaining thousands of highly skilled jobs in Australia, supporting regional WA communities and contributing to government revenue."
Recent Outlook Update
On Wednesday, the oil and gas giant disclosed that it expects an organic capital expenditure range of $18–$19 billion for consolidated subsidiaries (capex) in 2026.
The company sees upstream investments at around $17 billion. This includes nearly $6 billion for U.S. shale and tight plays in the Permian, DJ and Bakken basins, supporting U.S. production of over two million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
